Which side of the plane to sit from Douala International Airport (Douala) to Lomé-Tokoin Airport (Lome)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an exceptional view of the West African coastline, including the massive Mount Cameroon, the intricate Niger Delta, and the sprawling urban landscape of Lagos.
Search flights from DLA to LFW
Mount Cameroon
West Africa's highest peak, a massive active volcano visible shortly after takeoff from Douala.
Niger Delta
A sprawling network of rivers, mangroves, and creeks weaving through the Nigerian coastline.
Lagos Skyline
The dense urban sprawl of Victoria Island, Lekki, and the Third Mainland Bridge.
Lake Nokoué
The large lagoon in Benin known for its unique stilt villages and fishing culture.
Bight of Benin Coast
A continuous stretch of golden sandy beaches and palm trees lining the path to Lomé.
Sit on the right for the best geographical landmarks. Mount Cameroon is most visible on morning flights before clouds gather around the peak. As you approach Lagos, the plane often flies low enough to see the city's intense traffic and bridge networks. During the Harmattan season (Dec-Feb), visibility may be reduced by dust, making the Niger Delta's waterways harder to spot.

Gulf of Guinea
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean stretching toward the horizon.
Offshore Oil Rigs
Industrial platforms and cargo vessels dotting the waters near the Nigerian shelf.
Oceanic Sunset
Spectacular orange and purple hues reflecting off the water during evening westbound flights.
The left side is best for passengers seeking a calm, glare-free environment. On evening flights, this side provides a front-row seat to the sunset over the Atlantic. Keep an eye out for large container ships queuing for major ports like Lagos and Cotonou.
